Xia Dongquan and Wang Cuifen were also holding wine glasses and pretending to be upper-class people. They greeted everyone they met, and when they saw someone who looked particularly rich and powerful, they would flatter them and try to get close to them.
However, everyone present was smart and could tell at a glance what kind of people Xia Dongquan and Wang Cuifen were. Due to the Shen family's face, they just gave them a few perfunctory words and ignored them.
Wang Cuifen was treated coldly again and walked away with Xia Dongquan.
"Bah!" She spat fiercely, "They're all a bunch of snobs. They know we have no power and influence, so they don't want to bother with us."
Xia Dongquan's eyes rolled around calculatingly. The last time the Shen family announced Xiaojing's identity at the banquet, the Shen family refused to let them attend. This time, he finally persuaded Xiaojing to let him attend the banquet. He must take advantage of such a good opportunity to get to know these dignitaries, and preferably let them help him make a fortune.
Wang Cuifen was still cursing under her breath.
Her hair was inexplicably shaved off by a group of people. Fortunately, Xiaojing bought her a wig to cover it up for an occasion like today, otherwise she would have been embarrassed.
"Pa!" The rich daughter couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Xia Huihuang in the face.
"You! How dare you..." The daughter was well-educated, well-behaved, sensible and honest. She had been enduring Xia Huihuang's verbal harassment at first, but she didn't expect Xia Huihuang to become more and more aggressive and actually attack her directly.
But even though she was angry, she didn't dare to say in public that Xia Huihuang touched her.
When Xia Dongquan and Wang Cuifen saw their son being beaten, they ran over angrily, and Wang Cuifen pushed the daughter away.
"What are you doing? How dare you hit my son!"
As she said this, she raised her hand to hit back.
Qianjin had just stood firm and had no time to react when she saw Wang Cuifen's big, calloused hand about to hit her. She subconsciously closed her eyes.
After a while, she no longer felt the pain on her face, and she opened her eyes, her pupils widening instantly.
Shen Zhongjin grabbed Wang Cuifen's hand and exerted force, causing her face to twist in pain.
“It hurts…”
Shen Zhongjin shook her hand away and then raised his hand. The waiter came over and handed him a handkerchief. Shen Zhongjin wiped his hands gently and gracefully.
Wang Cuifen lost her balance and fell onto the sofa.
She was about to curse, but when she looked up and saw Shen Zhongjin, her momentum instantly deflated.
"Chen, Young Master Shen." Xia Dongquan's calves were also trembling a little.
Although they were nominally the adoptive parents of Shen Zhongjin's sister, this relationship was basically completely severed after Xiaojing pretended to be the adoptive parents and entered the Shen family. The Shen family gave them a house and money.
They tried to come up to him several times, but were always dealt with coldly by Shen Zhongjin.
In addition, they were already feeling guilty, so Xiaojing also reminded them to meet less often with Shen Zhongjin and Shen Qihao, as these two were vixen and could easily see through their thoughts.
"What happened?" Shen Zhongjin asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, Xia Huihuang took the initiative to stand up and point at the rich young lady.
"It was her. She slapped me for no apparent reason."
Xia Huihuang, this little scoundrel, has forgotten who he is after living a rich and prosperous life for a while. He often brags about his relationship with the Shen family and says that his family has done a favor for the Shen family.
Now it is even more justified.
It was the first time that the daughter had seen such a shameless person, who actually bit back at her. She anxiously pulled Shen Zhongjin to explain.
She was protected by her family and seldom attended parties. Today, she had to beg her mother for a long time before she was brought out.
But I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
Now my parents are not around.
She wanted to ask Shen Zhongjin for help, but when she remembered what the gangster had just said about his relationship with the Shen family, she was not sure whether Shen Zhongjin would stand on her side.
Shen Zhongjin turned his head slightly, looking at her eagerness to explain but hesitation, and frowned slightly.
It was a strange face, one he had never seen before in his circle. The person was fair and clean, with clear and bright black eyes, uncontaminated by the world.
The girl loosened his clothes.
Shen Zhongjin swept his fingers across her fair and beautiful fingers.
"Why did you hit him?" His voice lost its coldness and became a little gentler than before.
The little girl thought he was questioning her, so she pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
She wanted to retort, but she felt that she was tongue-tied and was so angry that she couldn't utter a word.
Wang Cuifen's hand no longer hurt, so she stood up and pointed at her nose and cursed.
"You little bitch, you must be trying to seduce my son. When he refused, you beat him up."
A cold light flashed in Shen Zhongjin's eyes. If the Xia family didn't need to be present today, he would never let someone like the Xia family enter the banquet hall.
He knew with his toes that it must be Xia Huihuang who bullied someone.
However, he needed this rich young lady to tell him what Xia Huihuang had done.
"If you don't speak out about your grievances, no matter who comes, they can't save you." Shen Zhongjin turned around indifferently and was about to leave.
Seeing this, the little girl became even more anxious.
She quickly grabbed Shen Zhongjin.
"He was the one who touched...harassed me first and did something to me, so I hit him."
Shen Zhongjin stopped and raised his hand to call the bodyguard over.
"If anyone dares to harass the female guests at the Shen family banquet, tie him up first and send him to the police station after the banquet."
When Xia Dongquan and Wang Cuifen heard Shen Zhongjin's orders to the bodyguards, their faces changed, and Xia Huihuang was about to shout.
However, the bodyguard acted quickly, first covering Xia Huihuang's mouth, then twisting his hands and forcibly taking him away.
"Glorious, my son..." Wang Cuifen shouted and rushed forward.
Xia Dongquan: "Young Master Shen, that's not the case. You can't just listen to her one-sided words."
